6 month old speaking full sentences??

I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but I could've sworn 6 month old babies don't speak full sentences. I have a friend who was one of those girls in school who constantly faked pregnancies, and now happens to be a mother. She's a compulsive liar for the most part. I guess referring to her as a friend is a bit of an exaggeration. We were friends years ago, but she hasn't changed. Anyway, she recently posted on facebook about her daughter saying "I love you," and since she isn't even 6 months quite yet, I found it odd. I'm not one to stir up unnecessary trouble, but my first instinct was to reply "Oh, I bet you can't wait to hear that for the first time! (:" Luckily, I refrained from the smart as$ comment. Am I remembering incorrectly or is she just pulling some of her usual crap?

I am pretty sure she is stretching the truth a lot! I am a FTM but I worked in day care for years and have grown up with a lot of babies and 6 months is not believable at all! I also watch this little girl at at 13-14 months she was talking in mostly complete sentences and people thought she was much older than she was. but 6 months would have to see it in person to believe!

My daughter is two and just now started saying fully I love you. She started talking at one but it didn't pick up speed until about 18 months. Im pretty sure she's stretching the truth. I had a friend on fb say her son crawled at three months. I wanted to say something but I left it alone.

My daughter was saying short sentences (I love you, I got it, etc) at 9 months, and we were told that was really early. She may have heard something that sounded like, "I love you", but the baby was probably just mimicking sounds at that point. Parents are always anxious to hear those first words/sentences. Good luck!

My daughter is 19 months old and started talking in sentences at about 14 months and that is considered pretty early. At least that is what her doctor told me. But from what I have been told by the doctor they are happy for a 6 month old to be saying mama or dada.

I'm not going to burst her bubble by calling her out. I don't see the point in causing problems with her when I already know how she is. I understand she's excited (she's a FTM), but her craziness gets a tad annoying. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with overzealous friends! I was worried I was the crazy one. Lol.

People are flipping nuts.. I have friends who think their babies are geniuses.. While I don't want to knock a baby that could be some sort of prodigy, I'd like to knock the mom and say really? Are you that desperate for attention... But ignoring them probably serves more purpose because after all it IS attention they seek...

Exactly! I haven't bothered to say a word to her, and no one else has either. She's clearly not getting the attention she was after! I've watched videos of said baby, and while undeniably cute (like every other baby I know of) she is no prodigy. She's still babbling for the most part, like every other baby her age!

funny you mention this. I skyped with my mom the other day and she tried to say I was walking at 9 months. Like, I didn't need a stroller anymore kind of walking.

I assumed she was one of those moms, like your "friend" is. So basically, I'm not concerning myself with whatever I supposedly did as far as milestones go in comparing my baby and her achievements... It's made me think maybe it will turn out to be better, my kid won't grow up feeling like she is in the shadows of anyone else's existence. I'm big on individuality.

My son and nephew, honest to God, started walking at 9 months together. So maybe your mon isn't stretching the truth. It's not common but does happen. We spent a lot of time in the family room with the boys (sis and I lived together and they were 3 weeks apart) and we had three couches, a coffee table, and side tables that they always pulled up on. They would walk holding on for awhile and then just figured it out one day. It was not easy to contain them after that...we had to start using the biggest couch to block the entry way so we could enjoy playing with them/watching tv and not chasing them around! :) Of course when the walking started the injuries started...so I'd have rather them taken longer! I won't be helping this LO around to walking early if I can help it lol

Oh I'm sorry - your mom meant like you were walking around the store with her kind of walking? haha no - the boys could only walk for a few minutes at a time up until like a year. My 9 year old son still complains about walking around in the store and still asks to "ride in the basket"....uhmmm no! Lol

hmmm. well thanks for letting me know that! She also warned me against using a bouncer because I apparently would flip myself out of them. I figured she was just being a worry wart... maybe she's not totally full of it. I have a feeling I'm growing quite the little rebel.

I don't believe that AT ALL!! My son is 21 months and can say I love you... Be he only says it after I say it! And he will say I lub you more because I would say that! So I dont think he knows what it is more just copying. He also started walking at 9 months! But by walking mean took his first few solo steps then would attempt to walk from piece of furniture to furniture max 5 steps. Fully walking by his first bday. It seems to me the earliest age for things to start is 9 months!

well it came up because I asked her what she thought about the lightweight strollers vs the normal ones vs a travel system etc. she said she only had a lightweight one for me because I was walking by 9 months and they didn't end up using it much because I would tip it backwards... I'm starting to think I really was an a$$hole...

Yeah...she's stretching the truth...or, you know, just lying through her teeth. :) With the way smartphones are these days, if her daughter was actually talking, wouldn't she have gotten a video of it and posted it on FB? And walking early isn't uncommon. My son took his first steps by 9 months and was full out running by a year. It IS early, but not unheard of. :)
